A women's organisation, which filed a police complaint against Ram Gopal Varma for his derogatory tweet on Women's Day, has approached the Goa State Women's Commission seeking action against the filmmaker.

The organisation has also appealed people to boycott Varma's upcoming film "Sarkar 3".

Ranragini, which has affiliation to Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, had filed a complaint with Goa's Mapusa police on Wednesday evening against Varma.

It filed a complaint yesterday against Varma with the State Women's Commission, the organisation's local office-bearer Pratiksha Korgaonkar said.

In a statement issued here last evening, Korgaonkar said, "Boycott film 'Sarkar 3' releasing this week and teach a lesson to Ram Gopal Varma, who has used threatening language against women."
 

The complaint said Varma has gravely insulted women with his tweet.
